Defying Gravity

Sandra Bullock had the best response to receiving one of Spike TV’s Guys Choice Awards last night. They “honored” her with a “Decade of Hotness” prize to which Bullock responded, “What decade? I have several under my belt.” The presenters of the award were a trio of Bullock’s former on-screen flames: Matthew McConaughey, Hugh Grant, and Keanu Reeves. The gents, of course, had nothing but lovely things to say about Bullock. (Grant, in fact, teased Reeves for going on too long.) But McConaughey had, perhaps, the strangest words of praise, singling out Bullock’s collarbone as particularly desirable.

As for Bullock herself, well, she has quite the reputation for being a good sport about these kinds of awards. Back in 2010, the year she won the Best Actress Oscar for The Blind Side, Bullock was also awarded a “Razzie” for her performance in All About Steve. This is her charming and hilarious speech from that ceremony.

As for “Decade of Hotness,” Bullock had this to say:

I feel like I’m at my funeral. Decade of Hotness. . . It should really
be Decade of Hot Mess. That I can own and I do that well and I’m still
convinced I’m up here because someone dropped out and they needed
someone quickly and we know I’m home on Saturdays.

I’d like to
thank you for this honor. This is an amazing slingshot for a
49-year-old. I’d like to thank every hairstylist and makeup artist for
creating the illusion because I didn’t look like this a couple hours
ago. . .I'm just one of the luckiest girls I know and three of the
people I’m just so crazy about are right next to me.
